Jaffa Gate Lyrics by Met City

Stockholm Fancy

2015

Lost you at the Jaffa Gate
We were sinking where the Hasids wait
Lo maveen anglit, tzleecha? (I don’t understand English, excuse me?)
Todah (Thanks)
But I can understand you - Bavakasha (You’re welcome)
Why won’t you say we’re drinking of love?
You’ve got the words in your pocket but the pen won’t write
We got a one way ticket to Jeru Jeru
Your dude’s not the wailing wall but maybe is to you (Oh no)
Lost you at the Jaffa Gate
Cousin Adi don’t believe in fate
But with ‘Contra’ blasting out in the car
We met Ezra the next day now how strange this life
He got a one way ticket to Jeru Jeru
Fame is not the wailing wall but maybe is to you
(Oh no)
Lost you at the Jaffa Gate (Wouldn’t wanna find you)
Lost you at the Jaffa Gate (Wouldn’t wanna find you now) (2x's)
Karen says I got up too late
Got up at five but cousin Karen is eight
Mashlomcha achshav? (How are you now?)
Tov meod, todah (Very well, thanks)
But Fabi woke me up with a chatzotzrah (trumpet)
Crumbling all the way to the shuk (market)
I got lost on Dizengoff (?) now how strange I look
I got a one way ticket to the Rabin square
You were in my little locket and I left it there
Oh no
Lost you at the Jaffa Gate (Wouldn’t wanna find you)
Lost you at the Jaffa Gate (Wouldn’t wanna find you now)
(2x's)
Your cavalry’s tired but you march them in place
Your desert groves bloom on account of the grace
That you had once shown when in love, with a place
A reticent June, was it all just a waste?
Lost you at the Jaffa Gate
We were sinking where the Hasids wait
